How we handle sink repair in New Invention
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and chips from dropped toiletries.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in New Invention
If you manage property in New Invention, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Invention use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
